A Woman and the Wolves

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If
the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and
unsafe forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She
brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting
dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they
were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger,
but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young
woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the
ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered
her own son’s life to save her nephew.

They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and
went back with her into the forest. When they got there, they saw something very strange.
Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.
